Subject: GREETINGS FROM MR ERIC NANA
Dear Friend,
I am Mr ERIC NANA, Director Of Audit In My Bank.
On February 2nd 2007,a Brazilian Oil consultant/contractor with Ghana Solid Minerals Corporation,
Mr.Mauricio Jose De Matos made a time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months on request.Upon maturity on February 2nd 2008, as his accounts Officer I sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally discovered from his contract employers, the Ghana Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.Mauricio Jose De Matos died in an Auto crash along the kumasi-Accra Highways .
Further investigations,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.Mr Mauricio Jose De Matos,the deceased did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,including his Bank Deposit paper work in my Bank. According to the Financial Institutions guidelines of the Republic of Ghana, such money will is sent to the state government account if no one comes for it.
Consequently,I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to the deceased. This is simple, the necessary legal documents will be prepared in your name as the next of kin to the above mentioned late customer and the money will be transfered to you as soon as possible.
The money will be transfered into your account for us to share at a considerable ratio between you ,me/my colleagues in the office for your assistance. There is no risk as all the paperwork for this transaction will be procured legally by a lawyer whom I will contact.
You should send by return mail you your response indicating your willingness for us to go into this business partnership which shall be beneficial to all of us. I shall receipt of your respond,provide you with more details and relevant documents for your records.
Be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.I look onto your positive response.
Thanks,
YOUR'S FAITHFULLY
MR ERIC NANA
